SGJ Podcast #136 – Astrox: Hostile Space Excavation Simulator

Welcome to this episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my friends! In this episode, Jim, Hunter and I sit down with Jace Masula to discuss his fantastical deep-yet-accessible game humorously nicknamed “EVE Offline,” Astrox: Hostile Space Excavation Simulator. This game began as a browser game on Kongregate, and eventually moved via Greenlight to Steam recently, where it’s meeting with a pretty positive buzz. Once you’ve seen the game in action and listened to its dev, you can understand why, as this is really a fantastic game.

Jace is pretty candid about the ups and downs of indie game development, which I think makes for a damned fun discussion, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it. :) In the next episode, we’ll discuss the highs and lows of 2015, as well as what we’re looking forward to in 2016. Thanks for listening/watching my friends!

3/20 5:30 PM Pacific – On the next podcast, we’ll discuss the inconsistent and often maligned representation of capital ships in space games!! Be sure to tune in on YouTube, Twitch or Mixer, and be sure to check the calendar for even more upcoming shows!
